NBC News figures showed Monday that covid-1 cases are on the rise again in the United States, as more and more states have lifted sanctions to slow the spread of the deadly virus.
On Friday, U.S. 55,759 cases were reported in – which is the largest single day of the month. And the trouble developed when the global death toll from the virus came close to one million when the U.S. It is the fifth most common cause of death.
“We are not in a good place,” said the country’s leading expert on infectious diseases. Anthony Fawcett warned Monday that ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“Certainly some parts of the country are doing well,” Fawcett added. “But there are six states that are starting to show excitement in hospital admissions in some states and even in some more. And, I hope not, but we can start to see an increase in deaths. “
And as the weather cools, more people are moving inland where the risk of infection increases significantly, Foi said.
“You don’t want to be in a situation where the weather seems to be getting colder,” Faucy said. “So we need to intensify the public health measures we talk about all the time.”
The U.S. has said that the U.S. Every day, 400,000 new cases are “unacceptably high.”
“We’ve taken it down,” he said. “I want to see him 10,000 or less.”
As of Saturday, the last two weeks have seen an increase in forty states and territories, with the U.S. Just a few days after its 70 million confirmed coronavirus cases.
Wyoming was the country’s new hot spot with a 128 percent jump in new cases, followed by Utah (111 percent), Wisconsin (104 percent) and Colorado (97 percent).
In Wisconsin, state health officials on Saturday recorded its largest daily number of infections since the outbreak began, confirming 2,533 new Covid-19 cases.
The new figure comes just days after the Democratic government, Tony Evers, announced a new public health crisis over the objections of local Republicans seeking to simplify safety.
“We are facing a new and dangerous phase of the Covid-19 epidemic here in Wisconsin,” Evers said in his order. “We are seeing alarming growth in cases in our state, especially on campus. We need to start taking this seriously, and especially young people – please stay home as much as you can, stop going to bars, and wear a mask whenever you go out. We need your help to stop the spread of this virus, and we all have to do this together. ”
Fawcett said he was particularly concerned about Florida, where on Friday the government’s Ron Descent announced the reopening of all bars and restaurants – without any restrictions – yet the state continues to file thousands of new cases every day, although that number has dropped significantly. Is. July.
The World Health Organization advises governments to maintain a test positivity rate of 5 percent or more for 14 days before reopening. The Florida rate is currently 10.62 percent, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center.
In contrast, the positivity rate in New York – the state hit the hardest hit in the early days of the epidemic and continued to lead the country in deaths from covid-1 fat with ov 33,9711 – was just under 1 percent as of Monday, according to the government. . Andrew Cuomo.
But it did show a small but significant increase in recent days and was another worrying sign that the virus was not completely under control in New York.
In the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, the city health department reported that the coronavirus was spreading at an “alarming rate” in a neighborhood inhabited mostly by Hasidic Jews, some of whom were socially isolated and compulsively resistant to wearing masks.
Fawcett’s stern warnings about the coronavirus crisis have repeatedly angered President Donald Trump, who privately caught journalist Bob Woodward, caught on tape, telling him in February that the Covid-19 was a “deadly substance,” but has since reduced the risks of the virus to 205,40. Have gone. U.S. As of Monday, the latest figures show.
Trump, who has questioned the need for masks and social distance and rarely does so in public, has also been accused of misinforming the American public that he is trapped by political appointments that share the suspicions of leading medical experts like FK.
Dr. Scott is one of Trump’s most trusted Covid-19 advisers. Scott Atlas, who has no expertise in public health or infectious diseases, was brought to the White House coronavirus task force in August.
“Everything he says is wrong,” an NBC News reporter said of Atlas in a public telephone conversation on the overhead commercial airline. The director of the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield said about the atlas.
Other coronavirus developments:
- Trump announced plans to distribute 150 million Rapid Covid-19 test kits made by Abbott Laboratories “next week, very soon.” “This will be double the number of tests already done,” the president insisted. The announcement comes a day before Biden is due to face off in Trump’s first presidential debate. But the kit order was part of a $ 760 million deal announced by the administration last month on the final day of the Republican National Convention. As for the size of the credit card, it does not require special computer equipment to process and delivers results in about 15 minutes. The downside is that they are less accurate than other testing methods, the Associated Press reported. Trump has also repeatedly claimed without evidence – that the vaccine will be delivered before election day.

Businesses affected by the Covid-19 infection could soon be re-sent – this time with a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against workers who caught a mistake at work and injured relatives. The death of an Illinois woman named Espirenza Ugaled is the first to suggest what could have been the wrongful completion of a “take-home” lawsuit. Ugalde’s daughter alleges she was infected by her husband, Ricardo, who sold her to Rora Peking Co. Ricardo Ugaled worked “shoulder to shoulder” on the company’s processing line in April and the company failed to warn employees or take any measures to prevent infection, adopting a suit charge. The percentage of deaths caused by coronavirus in the U.S. so far is considered to be a “take-home infection” and if the U.S. death toll reaches 1,000,000,000, it could end up costing up to 21 21 billion. , Says Reuters.
